The trend in table setting is toward the ; light and ladylike, with a noticeable trace of delicacy in dining-table accessories V . . ; Marian Marsh, of Oneida's Table Planning Service, points out that this same trend is being felt throughout1 the house. " Contemporary furniture is lighter in scale' with slim tapered legs, pale wood finishes. Fabric prints are delicately designed, and colors are toward pastel. All this rather feminine influence has affected th dining room in a way that makes it a most pleasing place to share dinner with family and friends. Silver is sculptured with an enchanting floral design that's sure to attract the eye of your guests. "Flower Lane," the new silver pattern by Heirloom Sterling is a perfect example of this light, springlike styling. Lace, too( has returned as beautiful as ever, ? but in strong washable nylon weaves. China is simple, with off-center flower motifs, and crystal, also, carries out the trend to" delicacy. Miss Marsh says that the man in the house favors the feminine theme, likes to feel the dining room is his best girl's domain, and that the woman's world of table decoration makes him feel like the honored guest who came to dinner.
